Order of the Stick Trivia XXIV: What do I need a twenty for, anyway?

[Peelee]

Heh. That was pretty clever, actually! It's too bad that it ran straight into the weekend languor.

Yep. But it gives me a chance to refine my earlier question.

Find me an otherwise normal, black-outlined speech balloon, except instead of what the character is saying being black on white, its blue on white.

[H_H_F_F]

Such an iconic moment.

OQ

[enq]

I have something more important to ask than Peelee's current question:

Spoiler: SUPER important

Show

How does ZhonLord keep getting away with using recent strips????????

[Peelee]

Such an iconic moment.

OQ

Turns out there's more of those than I thought!

Last stab at it: same criteria, otherwise normal, black-outlined speech balloon, except instead of what the character is saying being black on white, its blue on white. Added challenge: No English words.

No one expects the Spanish inquisition pages that are fresh in people's memory!

I was struggling with that for tons of questions last thread. I feel your pain buddy.

I will admit that being able to interpret a question as fitting significantly more things than the asker intended and finding an answer that is clearly not what they are looking for, but is technically correct, is really funny.

[enq]

Added challenge: No English words.

Seems like this should make it easier...

No one expects the Spanish inquisition pages that are fresh in people's memory!

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition to keep trying the same trick after it failed the first time not long ago.

Spoiler: So I think Peelee is looking for

a speech bubble with a musical note in it.

AND I FOUND ONE BUT IT HAD TO BE RED AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Why yes, you're exactly right! whistling a blue note after killing the first Linear Guild kobold.

We know that Elan's chance of success is inverse to his efforts at achieving the opposite, but what other character has an observed inversion in their actions and/or demeanor?

26.5 24 hour hint:

it's specifically demeanor in this case, and the inversion is based on the physical state of the subject.

Yes!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Imean, yeah, that solves the question and you win, but dang it all if this little dude kept slipping through the cracks.

Is this about Mimi's hands? I swear I'm just starting at the end and going back with your questions right now.

[ZhonLord]

Nope, inversion is not mentioned in any way shape or form. Her hands are simply incorrect.

EDIT:24 hour hint added above.

And that's 48 hours passed, time for me to get out of the way of a new question.

the friendliness of xykon's demeanor is observed to be inverse to how intact his body is.. I admit I specifically chose a page at the beginning of the comic to throw enq off the trail, since he was bothered by how many recent pages I was stumping people on. Get trolled my dude!

Open question!

Okay, now Meta, you start a fight with ZhonLord so we have a nice three-way grudge going on here.

Find me a strip with at least one rounded edge between panels. Full circles don't count.

Done. OQ.

[enq]

Arr! Do it again, and this time, spirals are banned too.

[ZhonLord]

here's a bunch of rounded edges, does that qualify?

[enq]

I nearly used that one as an example of one that doesn't work because "those are straight edges, just at an angle", but yeah the terrain contours are being used as edges too. I allow it.

[ZhonLord]

In that case, what's in danger of being killed off not long after being fully restored?

[Metastachydium]

Someone-someone's brain.

I'm a FLOWER! I believe in sunshine and happiness, not grudges! (Also, we did have a grudge, but he had the basic decency to apologize, enq.)

Btw I'm upset i didnt get this in the same minute it was posted, because I was looking at star wars stuff at the time. I am shamed.

[Lord Torath]

And just a brief reminder of a couple rules that may or may not be relevant:

5. If the answer given is not the answer expected, but still technically answers the question, allow it. You can rephrase and ask your question again later.
6. There's a difference between rephrasing—finding a different, more precise way to word the question so it has a smaller number of possible answers—and just simply rewriting to rule out the last answer. Don't do the latter. (If you are unsure, just ask.)

[enq]

Aww, is the wittle pwanty angwy? What you gonna do, uproot and pat me? Do you even have thorns?

I thought planties believed in poisoning the soil and racing to grow the fastest, each to deny their neighbors nutrients...

Find me someone who talks too much and someone who doesn't talk enough.

[Emberlily]

Find me someone who talks too much and someone who doesn't talk enough.

Well it's a quote of a quote but a certain half-orc says Roy talks too much.

meanwhile

a certain imp says Zz'dtri doesn't talk enough (to manipulate Vaarsuvius)

Does Roy paraphrasing someone else saying that about him (I couldn't find the original Thog quote) count? If so, OQ

[enq]

Yeah, I had those two in mind. Well done

You see this well-behaved plantie, Meta?

[b_jonas]

Emberlily: that is funny, because in #1001 8th Greg complains that Roy isn't talking enough.

[ZhonLord]

Find me a food pun related to the class of the character being discussed.

[enq]

Sneak attack sandwich?

I have a question if this is accepted.

[ZhonLord]

Nope, that's a class feature, not the class itself. But feel free to feast on that red herring as you keep looking!

It's funny that you'd ask that straight before mentioning poison.

Do strip titles count? (What? I wouldn't put that past you, specifically.)

[ZhonLord]

I'm not sure "the character being discussed" is addressed by a strip title. And no, I promise I wouldn't pull that on you guys.
